Hi all.

Just gave my 93 R33 a run at full throttle from about 60 kmph and it started "popping"

93 R33 gts25t

Only mod is turbo back full exhaust .

Standard boost, no pod.

The popping sounds the same as when it changes gear under heavy acceleration. It started around 5-6000 rpm and lost all power while it was happening.

Could it be?

A, fuel cut.

B, Detonation.

C, Faulty wast gate / Std Bov

I would love some opinions and to hear from anyone who has had this issue and fixed it.

Thanks all.

Also it didnt happen anywhere near as much if I accelerated slowly to full throttle still did a couple of pops but held its power.

Yup you got it. Exactly the same.

Ill start working on the electrical side as soon as i have done the fuel pump.

I changed the filter and it helped a little.

Its going to go something like this,

Fuel Pump, injectors and the things that they include..

then ignition side coil pack, leads plugs.

Im not looking to make it a rocket ship it will just be nice to have it running at full capacity.. (foot to floor no issues)

Check your FPR, pull the vac line off it and have a sniff.. If it smells like fuel, then it's a faulty FPR.

I had the same problem as you, but my issue was contaminated fuel..

Could also be a faulty pump.

By the way, do you have a larger pump ? Say a 040 ? If so, they hate 1/4 tanks of fuel lol (well mine does anyway) and it surges on boost..

Firstly im going to get the std pump to 12 v so its running at full pressure and see if that makes a difference. After that ill fit the 040 as the DIY topic explains.

I take it "FPR" is Fuel Pump Return line?or something to that description?? The one that runs from the engine back to the tank past the filter??

  • 3 weeks later...

had similar problem after fitting 3" hi flow cat. changed plugs to iridium and reduced gap slightly 0.9 mm i think, smaller gap better when combustion pressures are higher as fuel harder to ignite. gave coil packs a good clean as there was carbon around them. ran fine then. drew

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
